Richard,

I have to go back to my original .rev file and then duplicate it and then
copy the scripts (re-modify them) and paste into the 2.2.1 version of the
stack.

I've just been running 2.2.1 for a day. But boy-o-boy, did things blow-up on
me.

I'll give it another go tomorrow.

All the best,

Andy
